Taipei-based boutique carrier, STARLUX Airlines, will launch a new daily route between Taipei and Clark, starting August 15, 2023, and tickets are now officially on sale.

Clark will be STARLUX’s third destination in the country, following Manila and Cebu.

The carrier, founded by former Eva Air chairman, Chang Kuo-Wei, was established as a charter airline and taps the premium business travel market with a fleet of A350 aircraft.

STARLUX will operate an Airbus A321neo on the daily flight from Taipei to Clark starting August 15.

The aircraft is configured in a two-class layout, with eight seats in Business Class and 180 in Economy Class.

The Taipei – Clark route is expected to increase STARLUX’s competitiveness in the North American transit market, significantly reducing traffic time for passengers heading to the northern Philippines.

In addition to offering greater convenience, STARLUX's premium inflight service will attract more business travelers seeking luxury and comfort.

Clark is a special commercial zone in the Philippines and appeals to both business and leisure travelers.

It has become an important economic center in recent years featuring numerous tourist attractions, including the largest water park in Southeast Asia, luxurious golf courses, and casinos.

Currently, STARLUX flies to 17 destinations, including Los Angeles, Tokyo, Osaka, Fukuoka, Okinawa, Sapporo, Sendai, Macau, Penang, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Hanoi, Manila, and Cebu.

The fleet also continues to grow, with a current count of 20 aircraft, including 13 A321neos, four A330neos, and three A350s.

The fourth A350 is expected to be delivered by the end of the year.
